Overview
TIBCO Spotfire® Automation Services is a web service for automatically executing multi-step jobs within your TIBCO Spotfire® environment. You can, for example, use Spotfire® Automation Services to deliver an analysis to specific people, in a particular format, at specified times.
The Spotfire Automation Services package is available for purchase and is downloaded separately from Spotfire. The package includes the Spotfire Automation Services Job Builder, which comes with a set of pre-defined tasks for immediate job creation, as well as an API for developing custom tasks. After the Spotfire Automation Services is deployed, the Job Builder is accessed from TIBCO Spotfire® Analyst.
The jobs that you create with the Job Builder can either be executed immediately, or you can schedule the jobs to be executed periodically. To execute jobs periodically you configure the Client Job Sender to communicate with your TIBCO Spotfire® Server, and set the execution schedule by using Windows Task Scheduler.
